December 2013
Ok, so I realize that it is now March, and we are way behind on our blogging efforts. I hope to do a few catch up posts and then get back to current happenings. Here are a few December highlights excluding our time in Mississippi which should be in an upcoming post.
Avocado is a favorite.
Clara started a new thing this month where she decided that she just wanted to stay in the bed in the morning. She already hangs out in there quite a while before I go get her and seems to enjoy herself. I almost feel like she isn’t fully awake if I don’t give her at least a half hour. This was different though, I would go to get her after a usual amount of time, and she would be uninterested in getting out of the bed. She was just fine with reading books in her crib though. On this particular day, she was in bed until noon. Wow… this didn’t last long though, and we were quickly back to our normal routine. Although, I am definitely not complaining about her more typical hanging out in bed habits.
Jeff received Zoolights tickets from work so we planned to make a fun family night of it. Unfortunately, our tickets were for the same day that Walcott escaped our yard (as mentioned in a previous post). Thankfully, we found him with a nice couple via Craigslist but Jeff had to drop Clara and I at the zoo, pick up Walcott and take him home, and then join us at the zoo. Not exactly the family night we had in mind, but we still enjoyed it. Clara wasn’t too thrilled with the carousel but the talking giraffe was a highlight. We had just bought her some cold weather gear and were able to try it out before heading to Mississippi in a few weeks.
Clara is showing off her early Christmas present from Nana and Pops– a wheely bug mouse. It has been a huge hit.
